I haven't hated a movie this violently since "The Flitstones", and being a huge fan of the "Vacation" movies compounded my anger.That was just embarrasingly bad. I mean utterly humiliating for all concerned. We can only hope this one goes the way of the Star Wars Holiday Special. I'm not joking. This is the worst excuse for entertainment I have suffered through in a long time, and because I am an idiot fan of the franchaise, I insisted on ruining my family's Christmas by making them be in proximity to the television while I watched it. My father and girlfriend will not let me live this one down for a long time. It will be a negative touchstone for the rest of our lives.
This movie was just a mean joke to play on Vacation fans. It was dumber than anything I've ever seen, the humour was anachronistic and tasteless without being "funny-tasteless". There was no direction that I could see, it was predictable, had not even a SINGLE LAUGH, Randy Quaid seemed to be, oddly, not even there. An extra in his own movie. In an interview recently, he said something like: "I'm not sure about Eddie without Clark. Actually, I'm still not sure". He was sososososososososososososososososo RIGHT and I WISH he'd stuck with his instincts. I actually felt embarrased for Dana Barron and she hasn't done anything since "Beverly Hills 90210"...
This thing was awful. Let's leave it at that.
